The word "chatelaine" derives from the Latin word for castle. It refers to the lady who, in Medieval times, was in charge of the day-to-day castle functions (supplies, bookkeeping, supervision, teaching, and serving as a guide to the guests). One of her most important responsibilities was to keep the keys to the castle.
The mortgage industry has gone through a drastic overhaul in the past few years and changes are constant and continue to loom in the forseeable future. You need solid guidance in this arena, someone who is available after 5 p.m. and on weekends, and someone who encourages questions and dialogue. The home mortgage is one of the biggest investments of your life!
The escrow process is a timeline that begins with a fully executed purchase contract between buyer and seller, and ends with the seller receiving his money and the buyer receiving the keys. If you are obtaining financing (as opposed to paying cash) then there are two transactions occurring simultaneously - the sale and the loan.

Emely helped me purchase my first home. She also represented me when it came time to sell. I truly enjoyed working with her both times. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She takes the time to make sure her clients are comfortable with every step of the home buying/selling experience. I will definitely be choosing to work with her again when it comes time to purchase. Carolina has handled all my home financing needs wonderfully. I know the people I recommend are in good hands with Chatelaine Properties. They are a great team.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Emely and Carolina from Chatelaine Properties. As first-time home-buyers, they really helped us understand the buying process and guided us each step of the way. Carolina got us a fantastic loan, and Emely helped us negotiate and purchase the home we really had our hearts set on. They are both extremely patient and professional, but most of all, it's obvious they truly care about the best interests of their clients.

My husband and I sold our home in 2018. We used Emely from Chatelaine Properties. She did a good job selling our home! Our home needed to show well in order to get our asking price. Emely referred us to a stager she uses who was able to beautifully transform our home. My husband and I were pleased with Emely and her team to be able to successfully sell our home. Jayna D

We were tasked with selling my mother's home that she could no longer continue to live in. We were recommended by a co-worker to Emely at Chatelaine Properties. What an incredible experience! Emely took extraordinary measures to make sure my mother had a clear understanding of the process, timeline, and all the paperwork involved. Emely had the patience of a saint. There was always an immediate response to the many questions we had during the sale. Emely's ability to provide options along the way and explain each with clarity to us who knew nothing about real estate made a personally

We were so blessed to have worked closely with Emely V to buy our new property, which was a unique find. Without her on our side, it may not have happened so smoothly. She made the process easy and walked us through each step. She got to know us as a family. A year later, when it came time to sell our original property, we once again called on Emely V and her partner, Carolina, because our first experience was so positive. She is very professional, timely and cares deeply for her clients. She fights for her clients, which we really appreciated because we all know how real estate dealings
